We don't; my mentioning 3.0 was just in reference to a previous comment. In fact it'll probably happen sooner than then, I just have no direct knowledge. (I know some people were talking about creating iterators that know how many things they contain, which is the critical optimization, but I don't know if that's gotten anywhere; I don't track the dev list as it is too much traffic for my already strained email client :-) ) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
